Chapter 519: The Black And The White Emissaries

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Quan Shaoteng went to work early in the morning the next day.

He seemed full of energy and vigor as he received many envious glances, as well as admiration. He was able to hold his head high, every action of his seemed to be screaming, “be glad, you’re looking at the most handsome of all”.

As he had proven his worth, he could finally let go of the pent-up anger that he had been feeling.

He was more vibrant than usual. His usual cold and arrogant attitude was nowhere to be seen. He would show his mesmerizing smile at anyone he sees.

“Captain Quan!” Those whom he walked past would greet him.

They didn’t say any words of praise but gave him a thumbs-up instead.

“Good Morning Captain Quan!” Another officer walked past him and gave him a thumbs-up.

“Captain Quan, you’re really dashing!”

Even Cheng Xin, whose eyes refused to move away from Bai Muchuan, also lit up at the sight of Quan Shaoteng. Her eyes were so bright as though it had gotten some new light effects as well as a dash of oil. Her sweet, ambiguous smile gave Quan Shaoteng a strange yet uncomfortable feeling as if a cold chill was creeping up his spine.

“You said that I’m dashing?”

“Yeah!” Cheng Xin was a little shy. She couldn’t tell what kind of emotions he was feeling right then. “Captain Quan, you’re already such a good-looking person. I never expect that you’re so skilled as well. You took down the perpetrator in one shot and rescued the hostages. You’re awesome...”

“Enough, enough!” Quan Shaoteng waved his hand, his eyebrows raised up slightly. “You’ve complimented me enough. If you continue to say more, it’ll sound fake and hypocritical!”

“...” Cheng Xin was stunned to hear that.

Quan Shaoteng was very satisfied that she had kept quiet. He let out a snort and turned to walk away.

However, he suddenly turned around after taking two steps and stared at Cheng Xin, pointing at her face. “You must not like me.”

Eh?!

Cheng Xin was embarrassed instantly. “Captain Quan...”

“Hurhur!” Quan Shaoteng looked at her with a sidelong glance. “Remember, I’m not a man that you can catch! You’re not the type of woman that I like either. It’s better to give up early lest we’ll be awkward around each other, understand?”

“...”

He’s such a narcissist! she thought.

Although he could afford to be narcissistic; although he was really good-looking; although he was so good with a gun; although he had come from a very good family background... it was still really irritating when he was narcissistic to such an extent! It was not easy for the little sapling that grew in Cheng Xin’s heart to blossom into a flower of ambiguity. Yet, it was being uprooted by Quan Shaoteng in an instant.

She still preferred types like Bai Muchuan rather than Quan Shaoteng.

What Quan Shaoteng has, Bai Muchuan has, what Quan Shaoteng didn’t have, Bai Muchuan has it as well...

“Hah! I finally understand now!” Cheng Xin let out a condescending chuckle, a hand covering her mouth as she laughed like a resplendent begonia flower. “No wonder Captain Quan is being nicknamed as the ‘forever bachelor’... Pffft, so there’s really a reason for staying a bachelor.”

Quan Shaoteng was unhappy.

He was about to walk away but turned back to stare at Cheng Xin.

“What did you say?”

Cheng Xin looked at him with a smile. “I was saying Captain Quan has such good looks yet there’s no girl that seems to be interested in you... Looks like the heavens are really... unreasonable here! Hurhur!”

Quan Shaoteng nodded his head as he plastered a smile over his face. “Is this a reverse psychology tactic? You may be good at it but do you really think this will work on me?”

Not waiting for Cheng Xin to answer, his expression turned grim. “I won’t like you no matter what... Stay away from me!”

That young master finally strode away.

He left.

He left just like that.

Cheng Xin was so angry that she nearly exploded in her spot.

“What kind of person is that? Who likes him? He’s crazy!”

She snorted and turned around where she saw Mei Xin walking toward her.

She was expressionless and cold as always.

Cheng Xin looked at her, Mei Xin was also looking at her.

After being in a daze for three seconds, Cheng Xin winked and showed a friendly smile. “Officer Mei, is there anything you need my help?”

Mei Xin responded, “You’re blocking my way.”

...

That felt like she suffered a double kill!

This pair is totally like ‘the black and the white emissaries’ from hell? Cheng Xin thought to herself.

Cheng Xin stared at Mei Xin with her eyes wide-opened, her anger almost drove her to desperation. She used at least 10 seconds to persuade herself not to lose her temper and maintain her image. She kept telling herself that she was an elegant and noble lady whereas all these people were like tea dregs. As for Mei Xin, Cheng Xin classified her as a cold-faced strange creature who needed to touch corpses everyday...

Being a normal human herself, she need not get angry with a strange creature at all. That was what she thought.

Cheng Xin took a deep breath and moved aside, wearing a smile on her face as she continued to be friendly to Mei Xin. By doing so, she thought that she would be showing her magnanimous and tolerant character. “Officer Mei, I see that your eye bags are rather heavy. Do you want me to introduce an eye mask for you? The effect is really good...”

She cupped her own face. “Look at me... do you see a glow on my face?”

Cheng Xin wanted to be on good terms with everyone at Serious Crime Division One.

She had said that she wanted to change, and she was serious about it.

She put down her pride, her arrogance and approached her colleagues in a friendly manner, trying her best to make them change their impression of her.

Nonetheless, Mei Xin was not someone who was good at socializing and understanding social cues.

She was dazed for a moment. “I don’t need it, thank you.”

After that, she just walked past Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin clenched her fists together. She wished she could give her a good thrashing...

Unfortunately, she could only control herself as she knew that she had to pay a price for trying to become a well-loved person by everyone.

Huff! I can’t get angry, can’t get angry... she thought to herself.

“See you later, Officer Mei...”

...

Ten minutes later, Bai Muchuan held a case analysis meeting in the big conference room.

As they had significant progress in the case, everyone looked refreshed and enthusiastic. Xiang Wan also went to work that day and had come in very early as well. Bai Muchuan allowed Xiang Wan to attend the case analysis meeting due to her involvement in the incident the day before.

Xiang Wan walked into the conference room with her notebook. More than half of the people had arrived in the conference room.

The moment she appeared, many pairs of eyes looked at her.

Xiang Wan took a seat which was rather far away from Bai Muchuan and sat down without showing much emotion.

She did that to avoid gossip.

Bai Muchuan was chairing the meeting, so he took the power seat.

Xiang Wan took one of the seats nearest to the door.

But she found it strange as everyone kept looking at her.

Xiang Wan lowered her head as though she didn’t notice their curious glances. After pondering for a moment, she had a realization.

After yesterday’s incident, the impression of her as “Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend who got in because of nepotism” in everyone’s eyes must have changed.

Xiang Wan nodded at them with a friendly attitude.

It was all quiet inside the conference room. Nobody was discussing anything.

After two minutes had passed, Bai Muchuan took a look at his watch then looked at everyone.

“Everyone’s here now. Let’s start the meeting.”

Once the meeting started, everyone’s nerves were taut.

Bai Muchuan pressed his palm when he saw that. “Let’s give a summary of the progress of the case.”

After that, he took a look at Ding Yifan.

“Yifan, you may start.”

“Yes Sir.” Ding Yifan got up from his seat and operated the laptop in front of him.

The display screen of the conference room showed the pictures of the scene the day before in no time.

Ding Yifan gave a detailed description of some main points of the incident the day before... Then, he went on to talk about the female corpse they found at the wilderness in a snowy night.

“There’s a new discovery in this case.”

Ding Yifan then showed a picture and took a look at every one. “Our colleagues at the Forensic Team pieced together the corpse and did a DNA test. I am glad to announce that we have ascertained the identity of the corpse.”
